For nearly a year now I’ve been listening almost daily to Cozy Powell’s “Over the Top”, with Don Airey on MiniMoog & Yamaha CS80:

Stars of the Lid and their refinement of the decline today.
Rik Mayall (uncredited) is the detective in the Art Of Noise version of the Peter Gunn theme. Art Of Noise was originally Trevor Horn and his production crew, the band created after they worked on Yes’ 90125.

I thought Art of Noise was before they did the Yes stuff?
i don’t think so. Close to the Edit was based on Close to the Edge.
yeah, but that doesn’t count. you said “the band created after they worked on Yes’ 90125.” that was much, much laster than close to the edge (which I happen to remember was 73, since bruford played on that and a king crimson album both in 73).
I had to go check to make sure my memory wasn’t going :-). Horn’s production team were working together in 1981. They produced ABC’s “The Lexicon Of Love” in 1982. They worked on 90125 in January 1983. With their own music, they released their debut EP in September 1983 and debut album in 1984.
Wikipedia: “During January 1983, Horn’s team were working on the Yes comeback album 90125 – Horn as producer, Langan as engineer, and Dudley and Jeczalik providing arrangements and keyboard programming. During the sessions, Jeczalik and Langan took a scrapped Alan White drum riff and sampled it into the Fairlight using the device’s Page R sequencer (the first time an entire drum pattern had been sampled into the machine). Jeczalik and Langan then added non-musical sounds on top of it, before playing the track to Horn. This in turn resulted in the Red & Blue Mix of Yes’ “Owner of a Lonely Heart” single, which showcased the prototype sound of The Art of Noise.”

This is what I was thinking about. That and an interview with Trevor Horn where he was talking about having access to the Close to the Edge masters and reusing them later. Also Paul Morley coming up with the name Close to the Edit.
